Gender ministry reacts to Akuapem Poloo's nude photo with her son, threatens to take action

Following a photo posted on social media to celebrate her son, Ghanaian actress Rosemond Brown popular called Akuapem Pollo has received numerous criticisms.

Classifying the act as child abuse, a non-governmental organisation the Child Rights International petitioned the Criminal Investigation Department of the country to investigate the act of the actress.

While the issue keeps getting heated, the Ministry of Gender and Social Protection has reacted to the menace through a press statement.

According to the ministry, it highly condemns the act which is classified as indecent exposure of the child.
